You are welcome. I have greatly enjoyed oriental art over the years, and have noticed the parallel among cultures in their appreciation of the concept of the Divine expressed as the mother concept. Our Father did indeed create mothers and their roles, so it makes sense, at least to me, that there would be something inside of us that has a desire to acknowledge that aspect of God’s creation. To Him goes ALL glory!

It is true that we must be so careful in seeking to follow God’s Word as best as we can in our human understanding but I am not trying to look at this in any deep theological way, but simply to point out that our Father, our Creator, did make the production of human life on this planet they way he did with two sexes, one of which is appointed mainly to carry and raise children.

We all have our own relationships with our mothers, and many of us have been fortunate to have the kinds of mothers who are genuinely nurturing with the ability to be highly forgiving and encouraging. People in most cultures have seen that many mothers do in fact have this deep love of their children with the ability to overlook much that they would not tolerate from anyone else! It is easy for me to imagine that an artist would easily seek to portray this part of creation as our Father ordained it, with mothers playing a big role in raising little ones to love Him.

Just a few random thoughts which your art sparked in my fevered brain!
